Auto Zurich 2023: Škoda celebrates premiere of the Kodiaq 🎥
FIRST APPEARANCE Škoda Auto recently presented the second generation of the Kodiaq. Now the top version Sportline is celebrating its Swiss premiere at Auto Zürich. It offers new features and even more space.
The new edition of the popular Škoda SUV is expected to impress at Auto Zürich (November 2 to 5 at Messe Oerlikon) with the features that have always been appreciated, such as a generous amount of space, adapted safety and assistance systems and other Simply Clever ideas. Trade show visitors will thus have the opportunity to examine the Kodiaq Sportline top version live already this year.
Markus Kohler, Brand Director Škoda Switzerland: "The new Kodiaq impresses with a sophisticated concept and numerous innovations such as the Smart Dials. These combine haptic control elements with 32-millimeter displays, allowing simple and intuitive operation of the infotainment system."
Sustainability at a new level
The new Kodiaq takes sustainability to a new level and features a freshly designed interior concept. It now offers a 13-inch infotainment display, and the gear selector is now located on the steering column, giving the center console a particularly uncluttered look. In addition, a new offering structure has been developed with Design Selections instead of conventional equipment lines. Recycled textiles and environmentally friendly tanned leather in the interior underscore the brand's commitment to sustainability.
The trunk capacity of the five-seater is now 910 liters - 75 liters more than its predecessor. In the seven-seater, 340 liters remain behind the third row of seats.
Five or seven seats as needed
Three drive options 193 and 204 hp are available for Switzerland. The plug-in engine offered for the first time for the Kodiaq achieves an electric range of more than 100 kilometers. Škoda combines the top 2.0 TSI and 2.0 TDI units with all-wheel drive as standard, and a dual-clutch transmission is always used for power transmission.
The Kodiaq Sportline includes high-quality equipment features such as LED matrix headlights and electric tailgate operation as standard. Numerous black high-gloss accents dominate the body, and the front and rear aprons and side sills are finished in body color. A polished anthracite finish characterizes the 19-inch alloy wheels used exclusively for the Sportline version.
